\n“The truth is that every previous president would have done so if only his or her hands were not tied by international interferences. There were umpteen occasions when the war could have been ended, but India, mainly, stood in the way.”<\/p>\n
I presume, that you agree,that, although previous Presidents had the power….. ”
\nI said……<\/p>\n
Neither CBK nor Ranil Wickremasinghe could do bugger-all to bring an end to LTTE Tamil Terrorism which, MR with the support of GR & General (?) Sarath Fonseka concluded in style.”<\/p>\n
Therefore, MR did have the guts & courage to move against these giant external influences!!<\/p>\n
“Whatever General Fonseka said about CBK, that it was CBK who got down the hardware. Who supplied the hardware? Did any middleman involved made commissions?”<\/p>\n
Let us not deviate from Sri Lankan MR to Twin Towers in NY-USA. Two of my close friends perished in that disaster.
\nYou said-; ”
\nas for Sri Lanka, the armed forces were ready.They had the equipment and the skills. their generals knew what to do. They knew the Jaffna peninsula like the palms of their hands. MR had only to go with the tide.”<\/p>\n
Now you agree by default that MR as C-i-C, had the Guts & Leadership to Command the Forces. Thank you, Sir!<\/p>\n

\n“Fully agree with Mario. Why a lot of people not aware of this is sheer fear that all others will give ealam\u201d. But the truth is no leader gave Ealam to Tamils.”<\/p>\n
True. Nanda. However, No Leader put a Stop to the Bloody War for 30+ years.
\nAnd it was MR + GR + SF who pulled the plug.<\/p>\n
I am not quite sure to what extent MR – GR – BR – Namal are involved in the current accusations of Fraud-Bribery-Corruption-Mis Management. But, with respect, Sri Lanka as a PROVEN Democracy let us accept the Fact that, “Guilt Has to be Proven in accordance with the Law of Sri Lanka”. Do not let it go down to the levels of Sharia Law, as currently practised by the Islamic Fundamentalists!<\/p>\n
